Question

The Answer of the following Code pretends to be 12.0:

x = 5
y = x * 2
z = x / 2 + y;
System.out.println(z);

The Answer should be 12,5!

Answer 1

it depends on what data type is used, if it's a floating point data type will definitely be 12.5 else if it's an integer then it's a two way thing on how the language handles its decimal, if .5 is round up to 0 or 1, in this case it's round up to 0, that's why you get 12.0

Answer 2

Answer 3
